DGs" The dignifed, and law-respecting ac-
tion of the citizens of Laurens in dealing with
the case Of j. D. Sheahnp, who in cold blood
killed Rufus L. Bishop, and the jury that &C.
quilted him, must receive the most cordial ap-
probation and praise of every good law-abiding
man and woman in the country, and if their
strong public denunciation does not drive Shea
han out of the county, and beyond the recogn-
ton of decent people, his conscience must be
iron-bound and copper-fast ened. 1t was also
very unfortunate, to say the least, in the CORES
pondent of the Ners and Courier to write to
that Journal that the people thought Sheahan's 8
killing of Bishop was act offs elf-defense, when
all the proof went to show that it was cow
ardly killing of an unarmed man. We can see
but one palliatiDg feature in Sheahan's favor,
and that was Bishops dcfaming his mothers
and sisters character, but it appears that Shea
han had not the manliness to even coll him to
account for that
The people of Laurens have thus given to the
world a noble example of fcrbearance and high
moral citizenship, under circumstances of most
aggravating temptation to avenge q grie vous
public wrong, by preventing, perhaps, the com
initial of a crime against society, the good name
and laws Of the county and State. All honor
to good old Laurens.

life into the people. There is no doubt that
the terrible rains for a week up to The second
day of the Encampment, prevented many per-
sons from attending and considerably affected
the exhibition Of stock, Agricultural Imple-
ments, &C., and seriously interfcred with the
programme in other interesting and valuable
departments.
1t Is estimated that 5000 strangers were at
tending the EDcampment on Wednesday, with
the crowd increasing hourly. Many, however,
complain that the accommodations for food and
lodging were scarce and poor.

THE FACTORY MEETING.


In accordance with the appointment made
at the meeting iu june. goodly number Of
citizens, from town and county, assembled in
tho Court House last Monday to hear reports
from the township committees to solicit sub
scriptions and consider tho possibility Of build
ing Cotton Factory here:
Capt. F. NJ. Farr was called to the chair,
and Mr.. ]. A. FAINT elected Secretary.
The township committees were called upon
to report Two verbal reports from the oouu-
try were made, stating that the people were
not in condition at this time to take stock in
the enterprise, bu. fully appreciated the inn
portanco and benefits Of such an enterprise to
the county at large.
This made it very evident that tho amount
called for by tho terms under which the busi-
ness men of this town had so literally sub
scribed ($l5O,OOO could not now be obtained,
and it was therefore thought prudent to post
pone any further action in tho matter, at least
until the financial condition of the cou nty was
improved and the people better atle to invest
money in the enterprise.
There can be no doubt that the people of tho
county are poor aud in debt, although with pros
poets brighter than they have been for many
years, but we must recognize the high demands
Of honesty and prudence to first lift old debts
from their shoulders before increasing the bur-
den with new obligations, particularly when II
is known by oil that the present bright pros
poets depend upon so many contingencies for
continuation and q favorable final result.
One thing about the effort we can say, with
satisfaction aud pride: the business men Of
the town who subscribed for stock did their
full duty, both in very liberal subscriptions
and the active work they did to insure the sue
cess Of the effort We arc confident they
pledged every dollar they felt able to spare
and they deserve tho highest praise for thei,
liberality and enterprise. They proposed to
carry nearly one-hnlf of the burden, and i
tho people in all the other parts of the county
had felt able to carry the other half we art
confident they would willingly have done 80
were not able, and the cause of failure tc
build Cotton Factory at Union may bo sum-
med up in very few words: The people are il
debt aud too poor to build it, at present.
There was no want of interest in the pro
ject or appreciation of its benefits to the count,
ut large, for we have not spoken TO but on,
man who did not express warm interest in il.
success.
| We'll, it was pet scheme of ours, but W,
must submit to the inevitable, feeling that WI
have done oil we could for it., aud no blame cor
attach to anyone for its failure.
AS the girl said, after she had been tVt
,oeeks making q vest: what shall fly a
next for the goood of this good old town and
county.

R6" a report comes to us that last week
negro was arrested in Spartanburg, supposed
to Je the notorious Bill Sartor, who, with his
brother Bob, it will be remembered by many
of our citizens, completely terrorized the peo-
pie of this County, both white and colored. by
their daring robberies and desperate lawlcss-
ness, about ten years ago.
& If we remember right, Bill and Bob were
tried and convicted in this county for burglary
and sentenced to the Penitentiry for o term Of
years. Both of them escaped from the Peni-
tentiary Bill was caught aud sent back 10
the Pcnitentiary, where, we heard afterward,
he died. Bob was killed in Charlotte, by an
officer, in struggle to arrest him for q crime
committed there. We may be mistaken about
Bill being rc-arrested and dying in Jail, but
that is the general impression here; We re-
member what q relief we oil felt when we
heard that both of those desperadoes were
dead.

Coon RAILROAD NEws.-Columbia, August 2.
"A special stockholders meeting of the Charles
ton, Cincinnati and Chicago Railroad was held
in the grand Central Hotel to-day. The meet
ing lasted for about four hours. The general
manager Col. Johnson, and several of tho di-
rcctors were present.
The consolidation of the Georgia and Carolina
Midland Railroad with the Three Cs was COM
pletcd. 1t was decided that this branch should
be called the Augusta division Of the Charleston,
Cincinnati and Chicago Road, and all the in
debtedncss of the Georgia and Carolina Mid
land will be liquidated ut once. This should
convirce any who may have been skeptical that
the Charleston, Cincinnatia and Chicago Rail
road Company is in earnest, aud the people in
the section of country through which the Au-
gusta division will run 10 be congrat tulated
upon having the Three Cs take hold of their
road.
Resolutions were passed accepting the Acts
of the last Legislatures Of South Carolina, North
Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee and Kentucky
favorable TO the Three C.'s
President Cox was expected to-day but did
not put In an appearance. 1t is now very prob
able that the line on the Augusta division, from
Union 10 Gaifney City, will soon be located.
This road is expected 10 connect with the main
line at or near Forest City, Rutherford County,
\. Z. This will make an almost air line from
Ashton, on the Ohio River, to Augusta.
The surveying corps of the Three C's und er
Capt. y. 4. Ramsour, has ust arrived at Union
and will now run over the entire line from
Union TO Augusta for the purpose of changing
the alignment where practicable and reducing
the grades. When this is done a force of hands
will he put upon this section of the road and
the work will be rushed. Capt. Ramsour and
his corps, upon reaching Augusta as stated
above, will return to Union and survey the line
to Gafney City, and on to q point on the m ain
line OF three Cs, probably by way Of High
Shoals, N. C., where large cotton factory is
being built by Charlotte people.
The general manager states that sixteen thous-
and shares of stock, or 81 100000, was repre-
scnted at the meeting to-day. The stock Of
